About Timbó

Timbó is a perfume material derived from South American timber. Its scent is earthy, slightly smoky, and dry woody in character. In perfumery, it is often used as a base note, harmonizing with other woody notes, amber, and leather to impart a natural, calm depth.

Scent Profile

The scent of Timbó is primarily composed of the following elements:

• Woody: a firm, dry wood core aroma
• Earthy: rustic, calming nuances reminiscent of damp soil or roots
• Smoky: a faint smokiness that adds depth and complexity

Timbó is not overpowering but has a presence, bringing natural warmth and gravitas to a fragrance.

Use in Perfumery
